Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual human analysis is used to evaluate digital data, then expertise and judgment can be applied, but the process becomes expensive and error-prone due to human limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidanalysis cost and speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual human analysis with an automated computer-based pattern recognition system that processes digital data without human intervention, eliminating human errors and costs while maintaining analysis capability through algorithmic evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service analysis where the computer automatically evaluates digital data using embedded algorithms, eliminating the need for human experts to manually review each dataset while maintaining consistent evaluation standards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If data is processed and filtered for presentation before analysis, then human readability is improved, but significant information is lost from the original data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata readabilityVSAvoidoriginal data detail
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of filtering data before analysis to improve readability, the patent inverts the approach by having the computer system directly analyze the raw digital data in its native form, then presenting only the essential findings to human users, thus preserving all original information while maintaining usability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an automated pattern recognition system as an intermediary between the raw digital data and human users, which processes the complete unfiltered dataset and translates complex findings into human-perceivable representations without requiring human users to directly handle the raw data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If pattern recognition systems are designed for specific modalities, then they can achieve high performance on that data type, but they cannot be easily adapted to other data types

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodality-specific performanceVSAvoidcross-modality applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal pattern recognition system that can evaluate multiple types of digital data (medical images, seismic data, financial data, etc.) using the same core algorithms and processing architecture, eliminating the need for separate specialized systems for each data modality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables cross-modality application by allowing the system to adjust evaluation parameters and algorithms based on the specific characteristics of each data type being analyzed, maintaining high performance across different modalities through parameter optimization rather than requiring separate specialized systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If complex algorithms are used for pattern and feature recognition, then analysis accuracy is improved, but processing time and system development delay increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern recognition accuracyVSAvoidalgorithm development and processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements continuous processing where the automated system evaluates digital data without interruption or manual intervention, eliminating the incremental delays associated with discovering, developing, and implementing new algorithms for each analysis task through sustained automated operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary pattern recognition and feature extraction automatically before human review, preparing analyzed results in advance so that when human experts do review the data, the most time-consuming computational analysis has already been completed, reducing overall processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
